Grape Vines 
No fruit which you can plant that will give you 
more satisfaction than grapes. They do not re¬ 
quire much ground as the vines can be trained 
wherever you want them to go. They make a per¬ 
fect background for your garden.

is well known and does well under 
most all conditions. The grapes are good size, deep 
purple in color and of fine quality. Each 20c, 5 for

from the blackberry, loganberry, and 
raspberry.

first becoming black when fully ripe, is 
of blackberry form with berries averag¬ 
ing iy 2 inches long, with occasional fruit

sugar content is high, no sugar being 
needed with ripe berries. Each 20c, 6 for 
$1.00, 12 for $1.75, postpaid. 
Raspberries

combination hard to beat either for profit or the home garden.
